My case was not a life or death situation, but I had severe abdominal pains that caused me to actually cry out loud. When we arrived at the emergency room, no one seemed in any hurry or concerned about my excruciating pain. I had to walk to the small emergency room, because they didn't offer me a wheelchair. Yes, the doctor finally came in and took control of my situation and eventually, after 5 hours, a CT scan, and pain meds, I was able to leave the ER and go home with 3 prescriptions. This was a terrible experience for me and I will reconsider going back to this Emergency Room. As a side note and not really an issue was the color of the uniforms the nurses and staff were wearing - Bright Red. It wasn't a good choice of colors to wear in an emergency room.

On a previous visit to the Cartersville Medical Center's emergency room a few years ago, the care was the total opposite. They expedited my care with excellence, compassion and genuine care and that's the reason I went back, but maybe next time I won't go back.
